Abstract

See full text

A high-speed document verification system includes a document which is printed with a pattern having a predetermined arrangement of different reflectivity due to varying densities, line resolutions, or fluorescence. The arrangement represents information about the document. The document is fed into a high-speed document scanner sensitive to the varying ink densities or line resolutions. A graphic image of the document is produced by the scanner and this image or a graphic file of the image is checked to see if the proper pattern exists. A comparison unit, such as an optical character recognition system may be used to compare the scanned document's image with known density arrangements of valid documents to determine what information, if any, is represented by the arrangement. The graphic image may be sent to an operator's work station to be visually checked rather than being compared by the comparison unit or the image may be sent to the operator after it has been rejected by the comparison unit.
